Not in my experience and I know Ewan has had more than most on here.
My first 4200 was totally reliable for 4 years and my second that I took to NZ was the same after I sorted the oil/water pump unit.
My brother's 3200 was a different story spending a lot of time in Autoshield.

Thing is I like trying the manufacturer's cars that my father had over the years.
He never had a Maserati and I have he had a Ferrari 330 and I too have had a V12 one he had a DB5 and I haven't ticked that box.
Realistically my next one needs to be a LHD to get it easily on the road here in France after January 1st.

That's a good way of doing things and makes sense! How much are they in France? In Greece where I have family, the cheapest equivalent is over 60k EUR which is madness!

Ahh now I get it.
I’d urge against buying said Aston, and converting it to left hand drive........not without a good steam clean of that passenger seat!

Car-yes.
More unplanned children.......:conf1:

I'd say this one is broadly equivalent. Newly serviced too! Would need clutch at some point tho.

Sorry to hear of your pending loss Richard. That was a quick full on romance.

I hope it has been an enjoyable one and you loved the car as much as I did?

I was torn as wasn't sure whether to sell the Vantage or the Chimaera. As it happens I sold the Vantage and have since decided to sell the Chimaera. Maybe I should have kept the Vantage and sold the Chimaera!

Maybe you need a Chimaera as a weekend toy now? Or a nice Alfa GT 3.2 V6 Busso in return for the Vantage
